As a global player in the construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure, Colas is committed to providing ever-more effective products and to meeting the growing expectations of road users, residents and society at large. These needs include improved living conditions, comfort, safety and environmental protection.
With Vegecol, Colas is able to provide an environmentally-friendly alternative to asphalt mixes, by replacing non-renewable petroleum-based bitumen with a binder made mainly from plant-based raw materials.
What’s more, this binder’s translucency allows the aggregate’s natural color to show through, which makes for aesthetically pleasing cycling paths, sidewalks and urban development projects. Vegecol proves ideal for improving various living environments.
This product is part of the Colas Group’s pledge to lower carbon emissions, which includes ambitious targets in line with the Paris Agreement: reducing the Group’s direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 30% and its indirect upstream emissions (Scope 3a) by 30% by 2030.
